I think pretty regularly about how we'll handle a baby, if we have a biological one, in terms of foods, in the hopes that we can keep him/her from having some of my restrictions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-69801416442931389392008-07-16T09:19:00.000-04:002008-07-16T09:19:00.000-04:00Go right ahead, Becky!The pediatrician thing is ir...Go right ahead, Becky!<BR/><BR/>The pediatrician thing is irritating to me, too. Everything you read says to be so careful, and then you get teased for being an overly cautious parent! Our pediatrician said (about Eli), "Well, he either is allergic or he isn't. You might as well find out." <BR/><BR/>I still waited to give him certain foods because, hello! HISTORY OF FOOD ALLERGIES IN HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY. I wanted to give him every chance to NOT have allergies.Nowheymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977594440010163078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-85237450156805939152008-07-16T08:41:00.000-04:002008-07-16T08:41:00.000-04:00Mommy Daisy~It's also frustrating to hear that ped...Mommy Daisy~<BR/><BR/>It's also frustrating to hear that pediatricians give differing advice as well. Ours told me that the new recommendation is to hold off until the child is 3 years old. He did, however, say that is difficult to do (especially here in the south)... but still. To hear that your's laughed and mine is more strict just goes to show that nobody has the right answer and we're all just muddling through this big question.<BR/><BR/>Ok, now I'm off my soapbox. Thanks for letting me have another say Nowheymama! :)Becky @ BoysRuleMyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078001998434425784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-16722074057454106512008-07-15T23:22:00.000-04:002008-07-15T23:22:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness.

I did introduce solids to my son at about 5 months, but I was so particular as to what I gave him. And I avoided many allergens until he was a year old. And then he still hadn't tried several high allergens too. The pediatrician practically laughed at me when I asked her opinion of how much longer I should hold off on Peanut Butter to avoid an allergy. She didn't see any reason to wait since there was no problems in our family. Still, I have a friend who's son has horrible food allergies, and it scared me. Wow! I can't believe the stress on you.Mommy Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272248293460562006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727197.post-8685309832320512802008-07-15T21:25:00.000-04:002008-07-15T21:25:00.000-04:00You're joking, right?

I'm at least fortunate enough to be on the last child and he's the only one with allergies and strict avoidance. Then again, maybe they'll be telling me to give him small doses soon. Ha!

My kids are spaced 2.5 years apart and the "conventional wisdom" for things like the introduction of food, timing of immunizations, etc. changed from my first to my second, then again from my second to my third. I don't know which end is up most of the time, and I have few food allery concerns.LoriDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646658618955664778noreply@blogger.com
